Cape Homemakers Expo attracts over 38 000 visitors
The 2012 Cape Homemakers Expo attracted over 38 000 visitors over its four-day duration. The event, held at the CTICC from 23-26 August was successful for exhibitors.
Says John Leyden, strategic business development director of Homemakers and one of the organisers of the show, says, "The expo was a success, with many exhibitors reporting record sales and business leads that will keep them busy for months to come. This bodes well for an industry under severe pressure and it's encouraging to see signs of a positive consumer outlook.
"The quality of the exhibits was of a high standard, as was noticed by the close scores of the winnings stands, with one point difference between the first six gold winners. Even the typical Cape Town winter weather played its part in convincing consumers to visit an indoor event. Our numbers remained on the upward trend since 2010. We would like to extend our thanks to all our exhibitors, visitors and service providers for their contribution to the success of this year's expo," he concluded.
